Did you know?

If you prefer something with a little more strength, this drink works incredibly well with bourbon. Either shake the bourbon in with the other ingredients (add 15ml bourbon or try 50:50 bourbon/amaretto) or float a bar spoon of whiskey on top of the finished cocktail – known as an A and B Sour.
